The Calvary Eagles boys’ basketball team has the
school record for the most wins in a season than any previous Boys Eagles
basketball team. On Thursday night the boys wrapped up a 17-3 season with a
60-45 win against Pentwater.
The Pentwater
game was a game that looked to be one of our toughest non-league games. They
had shooters and quick, strong, and hustling post players. We pushed out to an
early lead and were up by double digits at halftime. However in the third our
offense stalled when we stopped getting post touches to Mike Warren and I. Our
defense wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad and we got outscored by 21-9 in the
third.
It was Eagle Fourth though. Eagle fourth is where we
show that we have more discipline on the court than the other team. We stepped
up our defense and made some clutch free throws. Our time-and-score offense
worked perfectly. With 2 minutes left coach took me out to a standing ovation
by the Eagle faithful. 15 seconds later he did the same with Gu3 and he got the
same reaction as he went and kissed center court.
At that point
we were allowed to start getting sentimental. It was our last home game. The last
time we would be playing a real game on that court. It was an awesome game and
afterwards we did something that we haven’t done on the court yet this year; We
sang, “It’s great to be a calvary eagle” (Go to http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3277064924377
to hear it) It was followed by hugs with the fans, and reliving memories of the
year. In the locker room the seniors all got to say a few sentences about the
team and words of advice. It was a great time. 17-3. I love my basketball team.
They will always have a special place in my heart. Come support the boys on
Wednesday night at MCC as we take on Providence Christian.
